Deluxe seat belts.

So after watching the topic on the KR and 69 Mach1 being sold  on that you tube video I have one about seat belts.  Should all Shelbys in 1969 and Mach1s have the chrome ring around the seat belts? I have seen them both ways and thought the chrome ring on Mach1s were another interior option package. Looking at photos on SAAC NV I have seen some Shelbys without the chrome ring and seen more than a few Mach1s without it. So was there a deluxe(chrome ring) seat belt option on the Mach1s in 69 and 69 Shelbys without it is just another factory error or owner installed during resto error? I bring it up because Jeff Y mentioned it in that you tube video on that 69 Mach1 not having the chrome ring around the belts. My 69 Mach1 does not have them. Gary

I seen that also in the mach 1 video and mach 1s didnt come standard with deluxe seat belts thats a option.  The deluxe seat belt option came with the belt light in the dash frame by key switch. All boss 429s and 69 -70 shelbys (except for very early cars) had the deluxe seat belt option but you dont see that option often on mach 1s.

This is true if the car came with a tach, which most if not all B9s and 69-70 Shelbys did.  Other wise the seat belt warning light is in the cluster by the fuel gauge and temp gauge on non-tach clusters.

Thanks Ed, I figured that was the option package but didn't know what to call it. Looked at my Marti: "Interior decor group-deluxe" is what it is called. A maroon GT500 sold recently on BaT with the wrong belts in it.
